The first two "strongholds" for Thailand have been successful running and fire tests

14 September 2013 at the landfill near the village of Chuguev (Kharkiv region) took place successful fire tests of two MBTs "Oplot", manufactured at the State Enterprise "Malyshev Plant" under the contract of the Ukrspecexport GC with the Royal Thai Army (Kingdom of Thailand).

This was announced by the Director General of the Ukroboronprom Group of Companies Sergey Gromov.

According to him, combat vehicles successfully passed the first stage of sea and fire tests. Tanks demonstrated the course at different speeds, as well as the ability to maneuver. During combat shooting, both tanks fired from 125-mm cannons, 7,62-mm twin machine guns, as well as 12,7-mm anti-aircraft machine guns. All targets were hit. Tests of MBT “Oplot” confirmed the quality parameters and technical specifications provided for by the designers.

“Three other tanks from the first export batch, which are manufactured by the State Enterprise“ Plant named after V. Malyshev ”, which is part of the Ukroboronprom Group of Companies, will be tested for Thailand in the near future. These are, in particular, running tests, as well as tests of firing systems, ”S.Gromov said.
He assured that the contract is being implemented in accordance with the agreements with the Thai side and the first batch will be transferred in due time.
“We are grateful to our friends from the Royal Thai Army for the confidence of Ukrainian military equipment. Ukroboronprom Group appreciates the cooperation with the Kingdom of Thailand - our strategic partner in the field of military-technical cooperation. We express readiness to further deepen it in the interests of our states, ”noted Sergey Gromov.

It would be interesting to compare the stronghold with our tanks and future armatures in tests, at least in the tank biathlon. Then it would be more or less possible to summarize, the conclusion is who is better and who is inferior, since it is impossible to find out in combat conditions.

Greetings to Akim! In the inheritance from the USSR, Ukraine received a tank design bureau and a plant without a closed production cycle. Over the years of independence
1. T-80UD was completely "Ukrainianized",
2. On its basis, at least two modern machines "Yatagan" and "Oplot" were created.
3. Ukraine has developed and launched the production of two wheeled armored personnel carriers (BTR-3 and BTR-4). I dare say, wheeled armored vehicles were not produced in the Ukrainian SSR.

Now about Russia. In the legacy of the USSR, Russia received 3 tank plants and 3 KB: Leningrad, Tagil, Omsk. We can also talk about Chelyabinsk, but I leave it outside the brackets. 3 and 3. At the moment, Leningrad is no longer able to work on an armored topic, or produce anything. Omsk - only special equipment based on tanks. Development and production. Omsk school is actually destroyed.

Only Tagil remained. Which, nothing new from the alteration of the T-64 into the T-72 / T-90 has so far failed. And what is now called "Armata" is the Omsk development, appropriated by the Tagil people.
Yours!

A scimitar is just a prototype and nothing more. And in your phrase the main part based on it because the stronghold is nothing more than the modernization of the T80UD, a good modernization but not like, not a new car.

Only Tagil remained. Which, nothing new from the alteration of the T-64 to the T-72 / T-90, has so far failed.

As well as Kharkov, nothing but the T80U in the T80UD, and that in Oplot, could not.

Answering your question directly, I want to say that we either say T90 T72 modernization; Oplot BM modernization of the T80UD, or T90 new tank; BMOplot new tank.

Well, yes, "but their Tanks made ", and corrected most of the stocks of the T-64.

What are you !? Kharkov switched to the release of the T-72 ???
Where are these jambs eliminated - not in Bulat or E-shka?
But seriously - then most of the T-64 jambs (if we consider its development without a radical design change) were fixed not in Kharkov, but in Leningrad, although anyway it was necessary to make a new tank for this.

[DEfindER]

Quote: Kuznetsov 1977

In the legacy of the USSR, Russia received 3 tank plants

And why do we need so many tanks to do, even in 3 factories? In the USSR, so many plants were needed, because our tank avalanche was a deterrent from the Amer bombers with nuclear weapons. And now we do not need so many tanks. By the way, by the way, our long-established T-90MS has the same 48 hp with a mass of 1200 tons. the stronghold has a mass of 50 tons. And outwardly the T-90MS looks more secure.
At the expense of Almaty, I agree that the deadlines have dragged on, but the requirements for technology are constantly changing, a completely new machine is created, which should exceed at least a decade ahead, it's not so simple .. I think that the final machine should already be with drone elements, and have the ability to act without a crew.

[tank 34]

As for the alterations: The stronghold is the alteration of the t-80ud, which is the development of the t-64b. Tagil produced a mobilization version of t -64 t-72. Based on it, the t-90 was created. The Americans are still modernizing their Abrams, which is the same age as the T-80. At the expense of the design bureau, yes it may be true, but to produce three identical OBT MBTs, to put it mildly, is not very reasonable, in peacetime it can be unlikely, but if there is a war, how to repair them !!!!!!!!!? ???????

Well no. He has the same ancestor T-80UD excellent tank. And this modern car, navigation has GLONASS and NAVSTAR with the definition of its own coordinates, the formation of teams with the coordinates of the destination, the collection of information about the location of subordinate tanks, the formation of routes (up to 10 routes) and the passage along a given path (the number of control points for each route - up to 50), the formation of telecode (text) messages over the air, indication of information about the direction and magnitude of the angle of rotation to the destination for the driver.
It has a combined defense system, which includes passive armor, built-in dynamic protection and a number of other defense systems that increase the tank's liveability on the battlefield. Armor is multi-layered, consisting of armor plates and ceramic materials.
By the way, side armor is better than all tanks standing in service in the west and ours. Not afraid of tandems.
Engine 1200 hp
Yes, and kind of what you need.

[pahom54]

I would like to add that these tanks were created on the basis of the Soviet ones, and the article says "thank you for your confidence in the Ukrainian military equipment" ... Which Ukrainian one? What have they done independently over the years?

Well, that’s why it turned out to be harder, by several tons, you have to pay for the armor, and the engine is apparently gas turbine like on the T-80, powerful, but very capricious, afraid of dust, although the climate in Thailand is normally humid there.

[Kars]

Quote: DEfindER

, and the engine is apparently gas turbine like on the T-80,

This will probably be an indicator of how you understand the topic.

as for the weight, it’s both for armor, and for extra fuel, and for electronics, air conditioning, active opposition systems, for better protection of the side surface. You really have to pay for them. And the fee is far from excessive. At the same time, for a surcharge, if necessary, will deliver an engine of 1500 hp

[DEfindER]

Quote: Kars

This will probably be an indicator.

I always knew that the main difference between the T-80 and other Soviet tanks is its turbine making this tank the fastest. Now I really read from the turbine already abandoned on the T-80UD.

If the history of the development of tank building is interesting, look for it in books, thematic collections, etc. the advised book by Kars will just reveal the fate of this machine, in the process of reading you will have questions you will look for answers :)

And this feature - to brag about their achievements on Facebook - does not lead to anything good.

So they showed it. In the past, there was a video test and shelling. But for some reason, Russian users did not like it. One of the reasons was that they didn’t shoot from an RPG, but placed an RPG grenade on a stand. They said it wasn’t kosher. At least a video of shelling a relic or T -90 I personally have not seen at all.

solid old Soviet tank with yet untested modernization.

[Algor73]

A new tank is not made out of nothing. The tank design bureau in Kharkov was before the Second World War, and there have been developments since those times. Nothing is stolen, nothing is copied. It was the Kharkov Design Bureau that was leading in the USSR. And now it’s ridiculous to say that Oplot is a Soviet tank, since Armata is also a Soviet tank. Armata also absorbed (we hope) the best achievements of the tank builders of Omsk and Tagil, maybe Leningrad. And the achievements of the times of the USSR

[Sochi]

??? I understand from your post - that the stronghold is committed a new independent development of Kharkiv? that they developed a new chassis, a new turret, a new engine? Nefiga, they just took a Soviet tank and hung other devices on it and upgraded the protection. Honor and praise to the designers who managed to do so, but this is the same good old Soviet tank. Modernization is still doubtful since it was not tested in battles, theory is one thing and practice ...

Based on this T-90 also a modification so-so. Like a lecler with a Leopard - although probably they can count the entrance to Yugoslavia and Afghanistan for their combat experience, respectively.

[Sochi]

There a lot of things came out ... starting from the air purifier to the rationality of booking. Since the first application, the States have changed a lot. Although yes, the example is rather weak, but it is quite characteristic. But the T-90 was modernized taking into account the battles in Chechnya, and now, so I think, specialists look at its prototypes in Syria and analyze tactics and its protection, effectiveness, and not only our experts ...

Well, all the same, you’ll have to learn the history of the Abrams tank. No major changes were made, the main innovations were introduced with the development of the hardware base and nothing more, as well as with an eye on colleagues. The same independent pan-scope sight first appeared on Leclerc, which never fought anywhere, and then appeared on the Abrams M1A2.
Air purifiers - and what is the combat operation here? Problems with them were identified, and they tried to be eliminated at the testing stage, as if there were no desert areas in the USA.

And what prompted you to your conclusions? According to the experience of drinking application?

Quote: Sochi

about the t-90, do not hold for fools those who develop and upgrade tanks

Why is this? You couldn’t answer anything offhand - even the new T-90A welded tower will not confirm your statements in any way - it will repeat the tower of object 476 from the 80s. The curtain system also appeared before Chechnya, as well as new models of DZ. Chechnya, for the most part, has revealed the flaws of the tactics of use. They would have lost something with the same use of Merkava 4 in Grozny 1994.

Quote: Sochi

It’s watched and how, any experience of battles is priceless, wherever they take place.

if you don’t process it, it will still be useless. Syrian generals, for example, did not take into account the experience of Chechnya, and you don’t even have to go far - the experience of Israel, for some reason they learned with their own blood.

[Sochi]

1 - THERE ARE NO THEREFORE, FROM THE LANTERN PERFORMED MODERNIZATION ...
2 - modifications of the t-90 appeared after Chechnya. maybe belatedly, but they appeared.
3 - so we are not those who use equipment ... but about those on whom its development depends, although each has its own school and its own vision of the future battlefield and the place of the tank in it.

[Kars]

Quote: Sochi

1 - THERE ARE NO THEREFORE, FROM THE LANTERN PERFORMED MODERNIZATION ...

So you can’t give specific prerequisites from the article for the modernization of Abrams in accordance with the combat experience gained in 1991?
And they did not modernize from the flashlight, but to increase the effectiveness of the tank using the latest technical developments, especially in the electronic component.

Quote: Sochi

2 - modifications of the t-90 appeared after Chechnya. maybe belatedly, but they appeared.

after Chechnya, no modifications of the T-90 appeared. The T-90A does not bear any imprints of the Chechen company, the usual improvement of the tank in the production process, eliminating the shortcomings of the predecessor tank.

3 - so we are not those who use equipment ... but about those on whom its development depends, although each has its own school and its own vision of the future battlefield and the place of the tank in it.

1 - http://gurkhan.blogspot.ru/2012/01/blog-post_30.html - Output. The analysis of defects and shortcomings in the operation of the Abrams and BMD Bradley tanks allowed American specialists to take them into account when adjusting the development plan for armored vehicles and their systems. At the same time, according to the timing of the proposed implementation, the measures are divided into two groups: priority ones, based on proven technical solutions, and activities requiring R&D.

[uwzek]

can enlighten what has changed on the T-90 following the results of the battles in Chechnya?
Nothing has changed. The only serious modernization of the T-90 was the T-90MS model, but it was not accepted for service (although who knows?).

[Sochi]

Our tankers met our new century while fighting in Chechnya. Fortunately, the sad experience of the first war was taken into account, and in this campaign tank losses were significantly lower. In 2000, the year it was first announced that a new generation tank was created in Russia, known as the 195 Object or the T-95. It was expected that he would begin to arrive in the army in the middle of the decade.

The changed conjuncture of the world market brought the golden rain of petrodollars to the country. However, the first half dozen modernized T-90А were purchased only in 2004 year. The following year, again, only 17 machines were purchased. And only with 2006, the procurement began to be carried out in more acceptable quantities. In addition, a “very budgetary” modernization of the T-72BA tank was carried out.

Due to what new structural elements of the T-72 tanks (the T-90 was not there), a reduction in losses was achieved, and what upgrades were applied.

[self-propelled]

Quote: Sochi

Look at least the story of Abrams.

I’ll ask again - what about the tanks that did not participate in the hostilities? the modernization (for example) of the German "Leopard" 2 (to the level of A6, A7) comes out does not make sense, since the current Bundeswehr tankers have no real combat experience ?!

[Sochi]

these tanks were created and modernized taking into account world experience and the development of shadow casting ... but in case of military operations of these machines there is sure to be something to change and modernize. Like it or not, these are peacetime machines, you won’t check everything at the training ground.

[Gur]

This tank is a direct competitor to our t-90x

[Yuriwhite]

Aha - a competitor so finally a competitor :)

You still write about the BTR-4 - in general uberwaf :) True, neither Iraq nor India wants to take due to massive defects, BUT we understand that these are trifles. And Aplot is the same song - we make "candy" from BU T-80. I wonder how many idiots (countries) are there that will lead to this divorce?

[seller trucks]

mmm, I would refrain from such statements, the T-90 has been released, ~ according to my conservative estimates, more than 1500 units, "Oplot" taking into account the last two 12 units, nothing personal, I tend to believe figures more than people.

PS. all the successes achieved in the arms market of Ukraine are the sale of weapons inherited from the USSR

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

Wow, TWO tanks ?! Well, a tramp is strong, now the Ukaine made 2 tanks for us. Interesting after how many years they will make 2 more tanks, and most importantly which ones. Because doubts are gnawing at me about the present and the adequacy of the current armored vehicles of these so-called tanks.

[Jake danzels]

I agree with you but not 100%.
Modernization of the T-64 is more rational, as for me, only when I compare Bulat with the T-64U (which was made in 1 copy) I will give preference to the latter because there is a panorama and an improved SLA.
But there are still shortcomings that need to be worked on, although these shortcomings are more likely of an economic nature.
And so you do not say Oplot-M is needed in the troops, even in the same amount that you say, ala guards. After all, no matter how operating experience is all.

[Akim]

Quote: Jake Danzels

But there are still shortcomings that need to be worked on, although these shortcomings are more likely of an economic nature.

Indeed, the question of "Bulat" rests on money, but if they are available, it is possible to install a 1000-horsepower engine (the current one is still not enough, especially on loam) and a panorama and a Vityaz cannon. Of course, there are better upgrades, but this option is already well developed.

With this "BM" I also do not even understand.

It all started, in my opinion, with the T-64BM "Bulat".
BM, as I understand it, at first designated T-64B Modernized. Then, I think, due to the incompetence of the media staff, the designation simply BM "Bulat" began to appear, something like this: "... in the armament of Ukraine T-84 and BM" Bulat "...".

The BM type is probably a "combat vehicle".

Now BM "Oplot".

Why don't you like the term "tank"? Or do these concepts differ in Ukrainian military science?

And those in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as they are called, are still the T-84?

[Akim]

This is not due to competency. These are official names on the developer's site. And such a name was simply introduced, most likely, so that they would not be confused with Russian cars on the foreign market.

[Yemelya]

BM "Bulat", it seems, is not offered for export, but "BM" went from it.

T-64E, which is offered to foreign customers, seems to be no one calls the BM.

BTR-3/4 is also BTR, they are called.

In my opinion, BM "Bulat" took root in the media, and then, for some reason, this random combination of letters, without a clear decoding, was used in the name of the new tank

T-54 tank
type of weapon, model

tank T-72 "Ural"
type of weapon, model, name

tank T-80BV
type of weapon, model, modification

IS-3 tank
type of weapon, model

Now for BM:

tank BM "Oplot"
type of weapon, further options are possible: if BM is a "Fighting vehicle" or the like, then we just have a clarification of the concept of "tank", which is not at all logical, If BM is a model name, then why does BM have the same model name who is "Bulat"? If the name of a particular sample consists of both parts, then you should write "BM-Oplot" (together / with a hyphen).

write the T-72 tank or the Ural tank, and you will not get confused, write the BM tank and the Oplot tank, and it is not clear what kind of vehicle we are talking about.

Quote: Kars

Where and when from the beginning? In official documents?

And what is written on the picture you brought?

Quote: Kars

Well, the T-72BM was what?

Yes, it seems that there never was a T-72BM, and if there were, then everything would be logical, model and modification. This would not make him a BM "Ural".

So at first it was like this:

The letters BM do not carry any information about the object, just like the letters ZTZ or T, or M.

and with a figure immediately becomes a storehouse of information?

Akim, this is not cool, this is the "Light" version, usually I still accompany it with the "three-story" version, which is before Finland:

The Finnish parliament reviewed a government report on Finland’s defense and security policies. This document completely changes the perception of Russians about their northern neighbor as a neutral country.

After reading over 100 pages of the report, one gets the impression that Helsinki is almost entirely oriented towards the United States and NATO in matters of military cooperation. So, Suomi has already transferred its army to NATO standards, has purchased and will continue to buy weapons in America and European states, and is going to participate in all military operations of the North Atlantic Alliance. Suomi is also exchanging recently acquired and not yet exhausted Russian Buk-M1 air defense systems for NASAMS systems produced by American and Norwegian companies.

http://www.rg.ru/2013/02/13/finlyandia-poln.html

[Akim]

The fact that the Finns have switched to NATO standards is their right, but this does not mean that they are ready to join the bloc. Do not divide into "red and white", the world is not so easy to unfold as in that game. Even now (and before), before the possible signing of the Association Agreement, Ukraine and Russia were not allies (Ukraine is a non-aligned state), but only strategic partners.

All these statements like "yes, our T-90s are better," but their "Oplots" do not have a sufficient level of protection, "yes, their" TV sets "are easy to damage from small arms, etc. - just anti-advertising. It is clear that the factory capabilities of Russia and Ukraine are not yet comparable (I mean the number of equipment produced). "Oplot" tank worthy. There are pluses, there are minuses, this has all been discussed before, I will not repeat myself. The good news is that Ukrainians do not stand still, how they can advance. I think that over time they will come in the right amount and their army. Progress on the face. Manufacturing 49 pcs. - very well. As they say, Moscow was not built immediately.

with all due respect, but ... is this the same enterprise, was it hanging in the air? Or did it fall from the moon? or nevertheless, it was built (and worked there) by the citizens of the TOU country in whose territory it was built ... mind you, not Ukrainians, Russians or Uzbeks, but Soviet citizens. so maybe you don’t have to call it Oplot, but just say : upgraded T-64,72,80, etc. it was sold to this and that and that ...

As for the obligations - well, so she took over the USSR’s foreign property. Debts of third countries to the USSR, it’s just as interesting where the money was from the USSR Savings Bank, how they divided the USSR’s gold and diamond reserves. Money on foreign economic accounts.

[self-propelled]

Quote: andruha70

. I repeat, the obligations of the USSR, only Russia took upon itself

the idea of ​​the Russian Federation as the full successor of the USSR, to put it mildly, does not correspond to reality. The Russian Federation assumed the entire external debt of the USSR in exchange for the inheritance of the USSR membership in international organizations and obligations under many international treaties, as well as the right to receive debts of other countries to the former USSR.
The Russian Federation is not the only successor to the USSR. The successors of the USSR are all 15 states that were former Soviet republics. Russia acts as the exclusive assignee of the USSR in only three aspects:
1. According to international treaties concluded by the Soviet Union, for example, on arms reduction, UN membership, etc.
2. For foreign assets, that is, property of the USSR outside the former USSR;
3. By external obligations of the USSR (that is, simply speaking of debts);
In all other matters, the successors of the USSR are all 15 post-Soviet states. In particular, in matters of former Soviet property located on the territory of these states, in territorial matters, and all others.

conclusion that it is better to Hold the Oplot or T-90 from the news

Copy paste is protected.
Such a conclusion can be made only after joint military trials, hints like this are being sold, but this one is not in this case not appropriate because there is such a thing as the sphere of political influence of the country. Who do you think has this "sphere" more? And I want to add, during the Soviet era, a plant for the production of T-72 was built in India, is it appropriate in this case to choose this tank as the basis for the Indian armed forces?

Answer my questions and we will continue to talk.

I personally Mercedes McLaren - better, but it costs 1000000 raccoons killed

[amber-50]

That's the whole point, you can design a super-tank and make it in the amount of 2 pieces, and then 5 years to prove to potential customers what kind of super-duper it is (though it’s not worth arming).

[ShtyrliTTS]

Worse, better; deep modernization or not deep, recently some kind of tendency has developed on the site. The tendency to scold everything Ukrainian. I'm generally happy for the s, and I think that the tank is good. It is also built on the basis of Soviet developments and decisions that , by the way, they are very criticized when discussing Russian tanks, separately. And when you need to compare the T-90 with the Oplot, then, forgive me, the Ukrainian product is g ... but, but “our tanks are fast.” Someone complains that the stronghold in service is not worth it, because the fact is that there is no money (it hurts a lot), and not because the car is bad. Two tanks are excellent

Brothers, what is the bazaar about? Rides, bullets in different directions, maybe, where it gets!

In my opinion, "Oplot" tanks, "Breakthrough" tanks are all tanks of the same level with minor amendments plus or minus. Therefore, disputes with whom the muzzle is longer are not appropriate) There are still production opportunities, the ability to sell, the composition of the technical base and the prospects for the development of new generations.

Here's another topic of the interview with the general director of the Malyshev plant, the enterprise is developing and it has a future.

“The plant named after V. Malyshev is pursuing a policy of reducing dependence on external suppliers and creating independent tank production in Kharkov,” said Vadim Fedosov, general director of the enterprise.
“We are going to master the production of guns, rollers, tracks and other products at the plant. This will exclude dependence on the import component as much as possible. We hope to do tank electronics, thermal imaging equipment, and software development, ”says V. Fedosov.
In his opinion, the maximum closure of production to itself will allow to overcome the inefficiency and inertness of still intra-union inter-production cooperation.
“The task is to close the production cycle inside the Concern as much as possible in order to increase the profits of enterprises. We are ready to fulfill it, ”says V. Fedosov.
He stressed that the reform of the enterprise began two years ago with the entry into the Ukroboronprom Group of Companies.
“Two years ago, few would have believed that during this time the enterprise would launch the full-scale serial production of the Oplot MBT, and the first combat vehicle would be presented to the customer. However, we coped with this stage, ”said the General Director of the State Enterprise“ Plant named after V.A. Malysheva »Vadim FEDOSOV.
“The actions of the staff of our company in mastering the serial production of Oplotov are nothing but a real labor feat. The development of mass production took place under the most severe time pressure and financial constraints, ”says the Director General.
The complexity of the serial launch was that the enterprise did not produce serial tanks for a very long period, and Oplot, compared to the T-80UD, previously supplied by the factory in Pakistan, has a production complication factor of 1,8.
Currently, the plant continues to produce Oplot tanks. Now five tanks for the Kingdom of Thailand are in the final stages of readiness.
"MBT" Oplot "- one of the most difficult combat vehicles in the world. The preparation of production and the launch of its serial production requires powerful financial investments and a wide time frame. I will give examples from the history of the plant. In the 70s. of the last century, the preparation for the production of the T-64B tank (a complication rate of 30%), which replaced the T-64A, took 5 years and cost the equivalent of 640 million US dollars. In the 80s. the transition to serial production of the T-80UD (complication rate - 50%) took 4 years and cost the equivalent of 920 million dollars. The development of the Oplot production took one year and cost 31 million US dollars with a complication rate of 80%. According to economic calculations, at least 1,2 billion dollars were needed for this. This task seems impossible. However, with the support of the Ukroboronprom Group of Companies and due to the mobilization of internal reserves, the plant withstood and prepared for the necessary pace of production, ”V. Fedosov said.

Dear, here we have already written above that contracts for the supply of military equipment are not only (and often not so much) a consequence of its quality, but the result of other non-market mechanisms. Political factors and leverage. The possibilities of Ukraine in this regard are much more modest than the Russian ones, which makes the Ukrainian defense contracts MORE worthy of respect.

For those who are haunted by the question of fat as a fuel - I will answer. Biodiesel can be produced from fat (this has long been known and not Ukrainian know-how), but 1 kg of fat is approximately = 1 liter of fuel. Can you imagine how many pigs you need to put under a knife? There is enough cheaper material for biodiesel. But in Ukraine there are no enterprises for its processing yet.

For the money allocated for the development of this vehicle, Ukraine has created a very good MBT. I think if funds comparable to the development of the T-95 / "Armata", "Black Panther", "Abrams", "Leclerc", etc. would be thrown at its development. it would create a machine that would be twenty years ahead of its competitors.
